MONROE, James. ALS ("Jas Monroe") as President to an unidentified correspondent [probably Secretary of War John Calhoun], n.p., [Washington, D.C.?], 14 April 1823. 1 page, oblong (73 x 95 mm.) tipped to another sheet, otherwise fine. "FROM THE WAR DEPT...ORDERS...SUIT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER TONE." Writing the same year as the publication of the Monroe Doctrine, the President corrects the wording to be used in an official document of unknown nature: "In the last paragraph it occurs to me that it would be well to say that 'The President requests that a conciliatory deportment is observed towards &c,' instead of us commanding it. You write from the war dept., where orders, in cases not doubtful, suit better than any other tone. Every other part of the letter, appears, to me to be strictly proper."
